The Piedmont Virginian is thrilled to check out the Fourth Annual Artists of Rappahannock Studio and Gallery Tour this Saturday and Sunday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) Call us proud Virginians but the setting– in the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge– couldn’t be finer. The tour features 16 open studios and 8 professional galleries with more than 50 new and returning artists showing newly created work in a wide variety of media, including paintings, sculpture, pottery, glasswork, forged ironwork, jewelry, textiles, and photography. The Tour starts off at the Fire Hall in Little Washington where you can pick up a map with driving directions and pay your $10 admission fee.
